[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I will use medical aid in dying available where I live[/quote]

I think this will become much more common and I support it. But having "a way" to do it will not be enough. "The will" to take action will be beyond what most people are capable of even when they are mentally competent.[/quote]

I am not going to get hung up on worrying about what the end stretch of my life is going to be.  I will assume that, like most people, I will have a good long stretch where I am in reasonable health but as I age I will want progressively less and less yard work, house cleaning, cooking, etc to do.  I might want to be able to stop driving so much and have some help with transportation.  Maybe I'll enjoy hanging around peers that are going through the same stage of life and can commiserate with me and approach life at a slower pace than the younger folks do.

I'm sure that I'll enjoy having visits from my grown kids and any grandchildren I might have, too.
